Reilly took the job nearly two years ago. Her responsibility was to recruit retailers to the Germantown Avenue.

During that time, the Avenue did see a gradual up tick in restaurants and boutique retailers. Reilly was involved in talking to a number of those retailers – from Hipster Home to Indigo Schuy and others.

Reilly told the Local that she felt it was time for “a fresh bundle of energy” in the position and that she would stay on to be sure to train whoever replaces her.

“I started two years ago as a part-timer but worked full time,” she said. “It feels like I’ve worked four years.”

Reilly said that although she is resigning from the job, she fully expects to stay involved.,

“I’m weighing options and looking for a way to share my talents in another capacity,” she said, “That is still to be determined.”
